Seeing that Li Jiaqing was unable to answer, Jiang Lai waved her hand and said, "Go ahead and do your work!"

More than an hour after Li Jiaqing left, Li Jiali arrived at Joyful Song.

Jiang Lai was idly picking at her toes when she saw someone open the door and walk in, which startled her.

"Who are you?"

"I am Li Jiali, Miss Jiang. We met in the courtyard. I am here to take care of Mr. Jiaqing."

Jiang Lai blinked as if trying to recall if she had seen Li Jiali before. After a mere thirty seconds, Jiang Lai nodded and said, "I think I vaguely remember her. So, what are you going to do now?"

Li Jiali said with a smile, "The gentleman has been sleeping all day, so he will definitely need to eat something later. I'll make him a little something to eat. Would Miss Jiang like some?"

Jiang Lai nodded and said, "Of course I have to eat. I didn't eat anything proper at noon."

Li Jiali smiled and went into the kitchen.

Jiang Lai didn't actually eat anything properly at noon; she barely ate anything at all, just grabbed some food from the refrigerator and made do.

She thought Li Jiaqing and the others would have lunch, but to her surprise, they were still sleeping.

When Li Jiali had almost finished preparing the meal, she said to Jiang Lai, who was sitting on the sofa, "Could you please go and wake Mr. Jiang up? The meal will be ready soon."

"Oh, I see!"

Jiang Lai walked into Yang Chu's room in her slippers, pinched Yang Chu's nose and said, "Get up quickly, another beautiful woman has come to cook for you."

When Yang Chu saw that it was Jiang Lai calling him to get up, he irritably opened his hand and said, "I know, is this how you wake people up?"

"I don't know how it is for others, but this is how I am. Get up quickly."

Yang Chu sat up helplessly, scratching his head, and said, "Okay, I'll get up now."

Jiang Lai couldn't help but laugh when she saw Yang Chu's messy hair.

Hearing Jiang Lai's mocking laughter, Yang Chu had no choice but to put on his shoes and go to the restroom.

Jiang Lai watched Yang Chu walk into the washroom and murmured to herself, "I never knew you had such a cute side."

After washing up, Yang Chu sat at the dining table waiting for Li Jiali to bring the food over.

After dinner, Li Jiali said to Yang Chu, "Sir, Sister Ye Xi said that tonight is the last night, and we won't need your help tomorrow."

Yang Chu nodded and said, "I understand! Is there anything else?"

"Yes! We've almost finished investigating Qu Xiaoxiao's family situation, and we can start taking action after noon tomorrow. The Yao and Kong families are more troublesome, but we can also take action against them simultaneously after noon tomorrow."

Yang Chu nodded and said, "I heard that Qu Xiaoxiao's brother, Qu Lianjie, was involved in a drunk driving accident recently? Have you investigated that?"

"After investigating, Sister Ye Wan is going to use this matter as a breakthrough."

Yang Chu nodded and continued, "I heard that Qu's mother is transferring company assets. You should keep a close eye on this and make sure they don't slip away unnoticed."

Li Jiali and the others were genuinely unaware of this matter, and quickly told Yang Chu, "We understand. I'll have someone keep an eye on it. If there's any indication of this, we'll contact the other shareholders."

Yang Chu nodded, then suddenly thought of the reservoir resort owned by Yao Bin's uncle.

"Could we acquire that reservoir resort?"

When Li Jiali heard Yang Chu's question, she hesitated for a moment: "This..."

"Speak directly!"

"Yes, sir! Sister Ye Qing also had her eye on that reservoir resort, but after investigating, it seems unlikely that we can take it over. Besides, there are more than just one or two people eyeing that resort. Even if Uncle Yao Bin's family falls from grace, we might not be able to get our hands on it."

Yang Chu nodded and said, "Alright, I was overthinking it!"

Just then, Jiang Lai suddenly interjected, "The reservoir resort you're talking about, could it be the Miyun Reservoir Resort?"

Yang Chu didn't know the name of that reservoir resort, but Li Jiali did.

So Li Jiali nodded to Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai scoffed and said, "Stop joking. You can't possibly take over that reservoir resort. My brother and Tan Zongming had their eyes on it before, but they asked for 70 billion, which was non-negotiable. They tried to use some tricks, but due to some favors, it all fell through."

Yang Chu and Li Jiali exchanged a glance but didn't say anything. If they could really buy it with money, that would be a good thing.

But after hearing Jiang Lai's words, Yang Chu and Li Jiali understood that there must be other twists and turns involved.

It's definitely possible to find out if we investigate, but there's no need to. We know there are many people watching, and if we were to take it down by force, it would be a lot of trouble, which is not worth it at all.

Seeing Yang Chu and Li Jiali's expressions, Jiang Lai said with some surprise, "You two aren't really going to buy that resort, are you?"

Yang Chu waved his hand and said, "Forget it! You said there are many people watching us. Even if we get it, we won't be safe. Let's wait and see!"

Jiang Lai became somewhat unsettled upon hearing Yang Chu's tone. He had just quoted 70 billion, and Yang Chu was already considering buying it, which meant that Yang Chu had at least 70 billion in funds on hand, or even more.

Jiang Lai panicked a bit. She thought that Yang Chu's funds would not exceed 10 billion, so it wouldn't be a big deal for him to have a go with the Jiang Group. At worst, she could just compensate him later.

However, if Yang Chu had hundreds of billions of yuan on hand, it would really cause some trouble for the Jiang Group. If we add the four major groups that Yang Chu analyzed earlier, the Jiang Group would really be in a precarious situation.

Jiang Lai looked at Yang Chu with a complicated expression and asked, "Are you really going to take advantage of this situation?"

Yang Chu glanced at Jiang Lai indifferently and said, "Otherwise what?"

Jiang Lai opened her mouth, wanting to say, "Why don't we just let it go for her sake?"

But she couldn't bring herself to say it; Yang Chu had done all this to prove something to her.

Jiang Lai sighed and said, "You decide what to do! By the way, the property management staff came this morning. Their answer to you is that as long as the house is in your name, you will be permanently exempt from property management fees. Also, your neighbor came to see you at noon. You were sleeping at the time, so I told her to come to see you at 4:20. That should be about the right time."

Yang Chu nodded and said, "Let's do it that way with the property management! As for who this neighbor you mentioned is?"

Jiang Lai thought for a moment and said, "A short-haired beauty, I think her name is Andy!"

Didn't you ask what it was about?

"No! Even if I asked, do you think he would tell me?"
